Building on a decade of research in the Momofuku Culinary Lab, Chili Crunch is packed with the same chef-approved ingredients we use in our restaurants. It’s inspired by Chinese chili crisp and crunchy Mexican salsas like salsa macha and salsa seca.
From that base, we layer in three different chilis for a complex, smoky-sweet punch. The Pulla brings a bright fruitiness. The Chili de Arbol adds a nutty smokiness. And the Japones closes with a lingering spiciness.
Finally, we add in crispy dried garlic and shallots. They give Chili Crunch an addictive texture that ensures no two bites are the same.
